Minimum wage is crazy low, how can anyone live off that?

They saying
Mitt Romney was running into the crowd
on the 6th.
But lucky for him
a Police Officer warned him

to turn back
and he then ran down to the secure room.


They say he could have been killed.

He's basically impeaching them.

Trump said something about that at one of his last speeches when he went to the border wall. He said something like "impeachment works both ways."

Showing a clip of Bernie Sanders saying he will fight for healthcare is not even close to Donnie saying - Those people in that building stole an election from you, fight to get it back. It was an object lesson in whataboutism.

Trump will almost certainly be acquitted. The question is where do the GOP go from here? If they become the party of Trump - which they pretty much are already - they may not get back in the White House for a decade at least. The issues in the Dems seem tiny in comparison to direction the GOP is going in.

Have you voted in my sitcom polls yet GiRTh?

You'll find the polls in the TV sub-forum, 5 polls in all, you can choose 5 sitcoms in each poll. The grand final will be early next week.

Yes Minister, is waiting for your vote.

By the way, Trump won in a landslide, you'll find out eventually.

They've had almost four months to find evidence and so far nothing.

The evidence is there, just a lot of corrupt people in the way at the moment, including the bought and paid for mainstream media.

Truth and justice will prevail in the end. As Bill Barr once said "these things take time"

Do you think the media act the same way to Biden as they did to Trump, or do you think they've chosen a side?

So far, theres evidence that Trump did a bit more than we first thought but nothing of major fraud. Thinking about it logistically for Biden to have 'stolen' almost ten million votes is just insane. It would have had to be a massive operation with a few thousand people involved. Its just a crazy notion. Its just nonsensical

Media are totally different to Biden but that will stop when Trump is out of everyone minds.

Maybe the evidence are the friends we made along the way?

I've lost the tweet now and it was probably BS anyway, but it claimed that Trump's speech was still going on when the Capitol riots started? Even if that is true, it doesn't mean Trump didn't try to encourage it earlier in the speech or before.
